Trip to Michigan

Jeff and I were able to make our first trip back to Michigan together in two years after he got home. It was nice to be able to see family and friends and get to have many different get togethers that involved a lot of people at once. While in Michigan, we stayed with Jeff's great grandpa Earl. It was nice to see him and spend some time with him everyday as we shared breakfast with him. We got to spend time with each set of our parents, as they all planned get togethers with family. Dad & Sandy had our first night in town and there was lots of food, fun and drinks to go around! Mom/Sue had our second day. She held a wonderful open house that was laid back and nice to catch up with family and friends. Dad & Barb took Jeff and I out to dinner and we got some extra time with them at their house after during which Dad shared some of my grandfather's war pics with us as well as his medals and ribbons from WWII. Mom/Michelle set up an open house that Dave & MeLynda (Jeff's brother and sister in law) hosted for us at their home. Dave did a GREAT job with the food...all hand made for Jeff. We even had a little down time to relax and hit some of our favorite stores that we don't have here in Florida. Overall, our trip was a lot of fun and it was so nice to see everyone. Here are some pics from our many outings.
